*** "Swingin' Man" is missing as of 6-15-07 ***
It will not be replaced as we are moving downstate next month. Be sure to check out our newest boxes at Calumet Park Cemetery about a mile east of "Swingin' Man"


The "Swingin' Man" is the first box placed by our family. The stamp is quite simple but it's handmade. The inspiration for this box comes from a man who frequents the park, swinging while listening to music with headphones on. We're always looking for him from springtime 'til fall as we come and go. Perhaps you'll get a glimpse of him too!

Independence Park is a 9 acre park 1/2 mile west of Taft St. on 73rd Avenue. There's a 5 acre lake, picnic shelter, and small playground. Once there,

Follow the trail alongside the lake,
About 15 paces you'll have to take.
A path to the cottonwood stump lies on the right side,
Behind and under the bark is where the "Swingin' Man" hides!

(Swingin' Man was moved on 5-23-07 because of the amount of vegetation that had grown around the area in which it was originally hidden...hopefully it's easier to find now)

Congratulations to the "Wild Woodies" for being the first to find it!
